Zombie paintball hits Langley

A customized paintball excursion where the targets are the brain-hungry walking dead is set to open in Langley, B.C., next month.

Ron McCall, the brains behind the operation, says the lure of battling zombies is sure to draw crowds.

"[I’ve had] one too many conversations with people bragging about what they would do in a zombie apocalypse so I said, 'OK I'm going to put you in one and let’s see what you do ‘cause I'm betting you are going to run scared.'"

McCall, who works in the movie business as a props guy, says the park will be fully interactive.

"[It’s a] zombie version of Tony and Tina’s Wedding," he said. "You become part of it and can play up you own character."

But instead of a wedding, park-goers will be armed with a paintball gun and let loose in a dark forest where 20 zombies lie in wait.
